Mayers formula for the relation between two principal specific heats CP and CV of a gas is given by (A) CV - CP = R (B) (CP/CV) = R (C) CP - CV= R (D) (CV/CP) = R

Mayer's formula is C p - C v = R. Here C p is molar specific heat capacity of an ideal gas at constant pressure, C v is its molar specific heat at constant volume and R is the gas constant.

Q. Mayers formula for the relation between two principal specific heats $C_{P}$ and $C_{V}$ of a gas is given by

$C_{V} - C_{P} = R$

$\frac{C _{P}}{C _{V}} = R$

$C_{P} - C_{V} = R$

$\frac{C _{V}}{C _{P}} = R$

Mayer's formula is $C_{p} - C_{v} = R$ .
Here $C_{p}$ is molar specific heat capacity of an ideal gas at constant pressure, $C_{v}$ is its molar specific heat at constant volume and $R$ is the gas constant.
